Re: "утюжка" окопов...
>Вопрос к уважаемому сообществу. Не видел ли кто-нибудь наставлений и иных руководящих документов(можно наших или не наших) или на худой конец какое-нибудь обобщение боевого опыта, где бы описывалась тактика утюжки/заваливания окопов и/или противодействие ей? Интересует не мемуаристика, а именно документы. Спасибо.
Заявляется, что в 1991 несколько Абрамсов, оборудованных ковшами, завалили длинныую траншею сираскими солдатами. Их прикрывали Бредли, ведя огонь на подавление. Сама атака репетировалась на специально построеной траншее, длиной в милю.
In most cases M1-A1 Abrams tanks mounted with a plow were positioned on either side of and parallel to the Iraqi trenches, the colonel said. The ditches were typically several hundred yards long, three feet wide and four feet deep. Operating like snowplows, the tanks drove alongside the ditches, filling them in. Colonel Maggart said that in most cases, Iraqi troops had enough time to see the plows coming, jump out of the trenches and surrender. Gunners Beside Plow Tanks
For those Iraqi soldiers who continued to resist from outside the trenches, Bradley fighting vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns and 25-millimeter cannon drove alongside the plow tanks, Colonel Maggart said.
"The Iraqi soldiers that were killed in this process were those that chose to stay in their trenches or behind obstacles and fight during the breaching operation," Mr. Williams said. But neither Colonel Maggart nor Mr. Williams said how they could be sure that wounded Iraqi soldiers had been able to get out of the trenches in time.
Colonel Maggart estimated that the Iraqi forces he had faced had numbered between 800 and 1,000 -- the 110th Brigade of the 26th Iraqi Infantry Division -- and had had four T-55 tanks. No one was killed in Colonel Maggart's brigade, which consisted of 5,222 soldiers, 125 M1-A1 tanks and more than 50 Bradle fighting vehicles.
He said that the daytime breaching operation, including the ditch filling, had been completed in about three hours, and that the brigade had continued its advance after securing its breach zone, an area of roughly 35 square miles.
